The Zambezi River below Victoria Falls is widely considered to be the very best in the world. With its deep channels and high water volumes, the river boasts adrenaline-packed class 3–5 rapids interspersed with tranquil pools.

Rafters have the chance to enjoy the magnificent beauty of the Batoka Gorge between rafting some of the most exciting and challenging rapids on the planet.

The Avani Victoria Falls Resort offers guests several options for running southern Africa’s greatest river ranging from a few hours to an incredible five-night, six-day excursion from the Victoria Falls all the way to Lake Kariba.
